The inventive, often challengingly experimental rock band signed with the Rough Trade music label in 2002, and recorded their debut album, Gallowsbird's Bark, the same year. Released in the autumn of 2003, that album garnered critical praise for its clever wordplay and original songwriting and was often compared in the press to The White Stripes due to the garage blues elements of the band’s sound and the fact that the band are siblings (The White Stripes sometimes promote themselves as siblings, though they are not).

Matthew is primarily, though not completely, responsible for the band's songwriting and studio instrumentation, while Eleanor handles the majority of the vocal duties. Drummer Andy Knowles and bassist Toshi Yano both joined the band for live performances in time for their 2004 tour. Beginning with a performance at the April 2004 All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in Camber Sands, England, the band's live performances took the form of hour-long, continuous sets of music featuring snippets from most of their recorded songs. Many times, several songs were melded together to create a conglomerate song that encompassed material from previously released songs, this producing similarly complicated set lists for the band to follow [1].

Dispensing of the majority of the White Stripes comparisons, The Fiery Furnaces released their second, more experimental album, Blueberry Boat, in the summer of 2004. Blueberry Boat showcased the same quirky songwriting of their debut, but featured a number of jauntily epic songs that showed just how difficult the group could be. It is also often interpreted as a multi-layered concept album. "Quay Cur," the ten minute lead track on Blueberry Boat, switches from dirty, gurgling organ to slide-guitar-fueled ditty to abstract lullaby within a few minutes, highlighting the Fiery Furnaces' variety in songwriting. Some critics, however, interpreted this type of material as evidence that the album is unfocused. The epic nature of the majority of the songs made them unsuitable for radio play so the band prepared Single Again, a take on a traditional nursery rhyme as a substitute. Blueberry Boat was the second, highly acclaimed album from The Fiery Furnaces. ...

This single, along with their previously released ones, was mostly only made available to the UK audience, so in January 2005 the band released a 41-minute compilation disc named EP (this confusingly being a designation commonly reserved for shorter discs). EP featured two new songs, all of the band’s singles and b-sides (with the exception of an alternate version of We Got Back The Plague found on the Tropical Ice-Land single), and was for this reason a contrast to the epic and, according to some, inaccessible nature of Blueberry Boat. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Their following album, Rehearsing My Choir (released in October 2005), saw the band return to an experimental sound once again. A concept album featuring the Friedbergers' grandmother, Olga Sarantos, narrating stories about her life, Rehearsing My Choir was met with widely differing opinions from both the press and the band's fans, being branded "difficult" even by those who rated it highly. Rehearsing My Choir is the third full length album by The Fiery Furnaces. ...

The band are planning to release a new LP in early 2006 titled Bitter Tea. In interviews they have stated the album to be influenced by the sound of synthpop group Devo and to consist of far more conventional and accessible songs than those found on Blueberry Boat and Rehearsing My Choir. 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In addition to "Bitter Tea", Matthew Friedberger is slated to release two solo albums in 2006, entitled "Holy Ghost Language School" and "A Miserable Life for Nieces" respectively. The two albums are supposedly to be packaged together, though will not be considered a double-LP. In his own words, the former will be a "noise" story record while the latter will be a "pop" record. Eleanor will appear on neither.
